[Verse 1]
You crawl out the glow of my cracked TV
Dripping black ink on my white Nikes
Tiny little terror in a thrift-store tee
Cherry lip gloss, but your eyes like knives
You chew through the wires in my head, unbothered
Laugh when I flinch, say I asked for the slaughter
You’re cute, then you’re claws in my backseat leather
You say, “You knew I was bad, so whatever”
[Chorus]
My little gremlin, heart full of static
Bite when you’re bored, you were born for the havoc
Teeth razor sharp when you kiss my throat
Turn love to a curse with a sugarcoat
My little gremlin, chaos in eyeliner
Set me on fire just to sit there, lighter
You smile like a sin that I can’t outgrow
You’re killing me slow
But I beg you, “Don’t go”
[Verse 2]
You bloom after midnight in my blackout room
Turn my stitched-up scars into fresh perfume
You dance on the glass of the frames you shattered
Say, “Baby, I break what was never that gathered”
You mark up my neck like a warning sign
Leave bite-size bruises like dotted lines
You rule my ruins from a thrifted throne
Crown made of habits I can’t disown (yeah)
[Chorus]
My little gremlin, heart full of static
Bite when you’re bored, you were born for the havoc
Teeth razor sharp when you kiss my throat
Turn love to a curse with a sugarcoat
My little gremlin, chaos in eyeliner
Set me on fire just to sit there, lighter
You smile like a sin that I can’t outgrow
You’re killing me slow
But I beg you, “Don’t go”
[Bridge]
You say, “Feed me your fears, I’ll keep ‘em alive”
Pull at every thread till I’m stripped of my pride
Still I’m opening doors that should stay locked tight
Just to watch you wreck one more night (one more night)
[Chorus]
My little gremlin, heart full of static
Bite when you’re bored, you were born for the havoc
Teeth razor sharp when you kiss my throat
Turn love to a curse with a sugarcoat
My little gremlin, chaos in eyeliner
Set me on fire just to sit there, lighter
You smile like a sin that I can’t outgrow
You’re killing me slow
But I beg you, “Don’t go”
